Dealing with Python

The ethnic gbayas in Cameroon prefers an adventure and the most dangerous occupation-capturing pythons in the cave. In this way, the gobaas hunters must drill into the narrow and deep Python cave. They may be in danger, because although python is not toxic, they can use their own teeth to bite the "invaders", or use their bodies to hold the hunters tightly and suffocate them.

In order to protect the nest where the eggs are hatched, the mother pythons may open their teeth and wrap around dozens of eggs. Be ready to bite and dare to attack your enemy at any time. Python is a huge animal with a length of about 10 meters and a weight of 100. Apart from Anaconda, South America's 7-meter-long bird-hunting and mammal, the Adamaoua region of Africa

Python is the most terrible in the world. In the central area of the adamava prairie, the border between Cameroon and Nigeria, the gebaas meet in the summer to capture the Pythons during the spawning and hatching season in the caves dug by the ant beast. They burned the bush with fire and opened up a road about a hundred meters long to the python cave. The anchor carried a torch and drilled into the narrow Python hole until it was found. When it reached the incubation place of the mother anchor at the bottom of the cave, the gebaas put the torch at the side of the anchor's head, covered the eyes of the anchor with a flame, and grabbed the neck of the anchor with another hand. Because you cannot see the current situation clearly, the python will catch it. If the python wants to bite, the hunter will put a hand wrapped in the animal skin and let the python bite. This gives the Hunter a chance to drag the python out of the cave. It is dangerous to exit outside the cave, because hunters both have to go backwards and guard against attacks by worms. Especially when the ants who dig holes are present, they will immediately round up to bite hunters. When the python was dragged to the cave, the partner outside the cave grabbed his foot and pulled the hunter out.

As soon as the python was dragged out of the ground, it began to launch a counterattack and wound the hunter's neck. Without the help of his companions, the hunter will suffocate and die.

The gbaas are the only ethnic minorities in Africa who dare to engage in such a strange career. Few of them were killed by a python, but even though they had wrapped their hands and arm in the skins, they were still scared when they approached the python. Today, fewer and fewer hunters capture Python because young people in the gbaas are very scared and refuse to drill into the cave to deal with python.

Step 1: Tie your arm and look like a dog leg

Step 2: drill holes and get rid of snakes! The two remaining feet are fascinating.

Step 3: Enter the depths of the cave with a torch, with a snake in the depths of the Black Hole

Step 4: seduce the snake (sweating on the head)

Step 5: Want to bite? Okay, give it to you! Unknown objects are suspected to be snakes and eggs, but may be stones. Big mouth!

Step 6: Bite it! Come back with me! Warning: this is the case for greedy customers!

Step 7: I drag, I drag, dude. Are you okay ?!

As if with a Golden Collar

After victory, the trophy is so big!
